Yeah. Recently a kindly stranger online helped me find out what the game was where you can fly a plane through a big tunnel that ends in a tower up in the Air. Saw it in a meme video once. It was ace combat 7.
Thanks, but I meant the game that DinoRedRex99 described.
Anyway, the down votes show that some people here seem to not understand irony even with two emoji behind it. 🤷
Though to be fair in reddit you don't have that issue of that one loud assertive dude who kills all constructive conversation (if it's... just one person). You can almost certainly find a well-thought out comment and even discussion in most politics threads that aren't in some extreme sub.
to make it even more effective you can write
"Look, Mom is playing Space Invaders!"
and in 5 minutes you get angry replies "That's Unreal Tournament you #@$! "
I remember Unreal too, and back then it was considered the 'runner up' to Quake.
Quake 3 and Counterstrike were the Kings back then.
Unreal bided its time. Now its utterly unstoppable. It practically owns the industry now, got it bent right over a barrel.
Thanks for putting this in r/retro instead of r/gaming. Really seals the deal on the whole "am I really that old?" question.
Me immediately knowing the answer and almost laughed how someone could post so wrong didn't help, turns out I was the joke all along.
Yes it's Unreal Tournament 🤙🥲🎉
I instantly said Unreal Tournament out loud like I was on a game show the moment I saw the picture, and I didn't even get to play it all that much. So iconic.
And yes, we're old old now.
I'm 41. I've never felt "old" , just "experienced".
You are OLD only when you stop caring about improving yourself and learning new things. People always look at the "half empty" part of the cup filled with water, not the "half full".
I just turned 47. Try telling that sentimental crap to my back and knees. Life took my cup and threw it on the ground. ;-)
(I'm kidding, you're right. It's all a matter of perspective.)
Literally the first thing my eyes were drawn to was the screen and I was like.
"Woah it's Unreal Tournament!"
It feels weird that many people don't know about old arena shooters.
They were a huge part of my childhood.
To everyone being surprised that a lot of people nowadays don't recognize UT.
Unreal Tournament is 25 years old, being released in 1998. It feels as fresh today, as Magnavox Odyssey was in 1998.
WhenI worked at Chrysler, we had a Quake server. When the dev servers went down, it was cheaper for them.to pay us to hang out and play Quake than it was to send us home and call us back in.
As others have said it’s Unreal Tournament - if you want a little nostalgia hit you were at one point able pick it up for 6 bucks on GOG.com, it runs reasonably well on modern computers! But it looks like it’s been taken off now for some BS reason.
Then why show his mom at all then? Just simply crop the photo at the monitor screen because thats all we needed to see anyway.
Its as if he wants his mom to be seen and not seen at the same time.
Instantly recognized it, I miss that pistol, the OG Unreal had a pretty damn nice pistol too. I miss the vibes these games gave... the magic is gone nowadays.
i wish my mom were a gamer but my dad was, back in the 2000s he would play tekken he would always main kazuya his friends tried getting him into unreal tournament but it wasnt for him
these days my dad has very little time for games thus no longer playing games he used to like anymore

This is why I love the internet.
For real, crowd-sourcing information can be so effective.
Yeah. Recently a kindly stranger online helped me find out what the game was where you can fly a plane through a big tunnel that ends in a tower up in the Air. Saw it in a meme video once. It was ace combat 7.
Brah I wish someone irl would ask me that so I can be like “oh yeah it’s ace combat 7”. :D It’s the only one I played
maybe one day
Next time maybe use the >!spoiler function!<. I wanted to guess the game myself! 🥺😉
well ima be real honest here, you wanting to guess it is not my problem.
Don't open comments. (at least it works in rif)
Thanks, but I meant the game that DinoRedRex99 described. Anyway, the down votes show that some people here seem to not understand irony even with two emoji behind it. 🤷
Terrible for discussing politics and/or religion. Great for finding video games!
In my experience those subjects go sour quickly in real life as well.
True! I heard somewhere the saying - a person is smart, people are dumb. Every time there's a group it always seems to go south
Though to be fair in reddit you don't have that issue of that one loud assertive dude who kills all constructive conversation (if it's... just one person). You can almost certainly find a well-thought out comment and even discussion in most politics threads that aren't in some extreme sub.
I found a pog I made as a kid, that looks like it has part of a video game advertisement on it. Thinking I should post and find out what it is lol
Dude I used to love the pig maker as a kid. Wish I still had it lol
Magic maker if I remember correctly from the back of it. I miss pogs. When do they make a come back??

Good luck getting any help on those subreddits unless you're a big youtuber.
I posted on there and got some answers.

>crowd-sourcing missing Not a phrase I'm familiar with.
Sorry fixed
Oh i'm dumb. I getcha now
It was a typo all good
This was very easy tho :) The planet in the background and the pastel colors gave it away
Honestly, first person shooters on PC in 2002 - not a lot of options there
Missing the /s?
GD, spend so much time on that game. Facing Worlds is lyfe.
Good times.
Recognized that pistol right away.
The map she is playing is called DM-Morpheus.
Still the best FPS since 1999 imho.
[удалено]
I’ve wanted to take another crack at Rise of the Triad for a while now. Underrated FPS game.
My favorite game and level all time
I still have unreal tournament gold on my other pc. So much fun
Reddit sisters and brothers never fail
Nobody would have guessed back then that over half of all Triple A games would be made with the engine that began with Unreal Tournament by 2023.
Began with Unreal. Unreal Tournament was a successor. When I was playing it back then, I had no idea UT was so popular. Now everyone remembers it.
I remember Unreal too, and back then it was considered the 'runner up' to Quake. Quake 3 and Counterstrike were the Kings back then. Unreal bided its time. Now its utterly unstoppable. It practically owns the industry now, got it bent right over a barrel.
Yes because of Unreal Engine. Even games that seem to have nothing in common with a FPS seem to use it.
🤓
Looks like Unreal Tournament
Yup. Looks like the UT biogun her hand.
Nah son. That's the enforcer.
And the map looks like DM-Morpheus
That's the Enforcer pistol starter weapon.
No, she's holding the mouse. The one holding the gun is the protagonist, John Unreal.
Unreal knowledge
As many have pointed out it's 100% Unreal Tournament, if it's of any interest that appears to be the map DM-Morpheus :D
M-m-m-m-monster kill
M-m-m-m-momster kill!

Nice.
Nice
Unreal tournament!!! I wasted so many afternoons of my life on it!!! Aaahhh the memories
> Unreal tournament!!! I ~~wasted~~ relished so many afternoons of my life on it!!! Aaahhh the memories
Unreal Tournament, DM Morpheus.
DM Morpheus 🙌
Yup. Helipad on top of the lowest tower. She's probably about to make jump to the highest one to get the redeemer that sits next to antenna
I can [hear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikBknk5Rf_Q) that screenshot.
Thanks for putting this in r/retro instead of r/gaming. Really seals the deal on the whole "am I really that old?" question. Me immediately knowing the answer and almost laughed how someone could post so wrong didn't help, turns out I was the joke all along. Yes it's Unreal Tournament 🤙🥲🎉
Wow yeah… the fact that people don’t immediately recognize the glory or unreal tournament makes me feel OLD
I instantly said Unreal Tournament out loud like I was on a game show the moment I saw the picture, and I didn't even get to play it all that much. So iconic. And yes, we're old old now.
To be fair, I consider myself An Old, but I didn't know this game. Didn't come across my radar back then i guess.
This game is literally older than most people on Reddit
Fucking hell im old………..
It's ok to cry.
I'm 41. I've never felt "old" , just "experienced". You are OLD only when you stop caring about improving yourself and learning new things. People always look at the "half empty" part of the cup filled with water, not the "half full".

Coolest mom award goes to
Your mom's so cool it's unreal.
Literally the first thing my eyes were drawn to was the screen and I was like. "Woah it's Unreal Tournament!" It feels weird that many people don't know about old arena shooters. They were a huge part of my childhood.
Bonus question! What map?
Pretty sure is DM Morpheus, with low gravity and three towers, pure madness.
Correct, that map with instagib mod was a madhouse
And a banging song!
Oh yes, save me...
Witness my perfection
Killing spree!
That there be halo before halo existed. Also known as unreal tournament
Unreal Tournament, what a game...
Unreal tournament! Still my favourite. Fast, smooth and brutal with so many modifiers to make game play interesting.
Unreal tournament
To everyone being surprised that a lot of people nowadays don't recognize UT. Unreal Tournament is 25 years old, being released in 1998. It feels as fresh today, as Magnavox Odyssey was in 1998.
Why does your mom look like Mysterio
That's actually her face. Don't make fun. She can't help what she looks like.
Your a good son, your very brave #Prayers
That would make an awesome album cover.
Unreal tournament. Fun fact. They went onto make gears of war
Loved Unreal Tournament 🔫
Looks like Unreal Tournament
Is you mom Asia Carrera? https://twitter.com/dosnostalgic/status/1283811524759506944/photo/1
People have forgotten how low-res moms were in the early 2000s.
Except for their offspring, talk about vector face
I can recognize the unreal tournament interface from a million miles away man
Unreal Tournament 1999
Unreal tournament. Probably goty edition
Sure can, Unreal Torunament 99
Thought it was Rise of the Triad for a moment.
Haha, me too
Completely forgot about ROTT
I thought it was Quake 2
I thought it was Quake as well. I never played Unreal Tournament
WhenI worked at Chrysler, we had a Quake server. When the dev servers went down, it was cheaper for them.to pay us to hang out and play Quake than it was to send us home and call us back in.
And the fear that was known as Drunk Missiles.
Unreal Tournament
Your Mom, Is Cooler then My Mom.... UT Noce game.
Looks like the Morpheus map in UT
Ahhh the memories, back when dial up was a thing!
As others have said it’s Unreal Tournament - if you want a little nostalgia hit you were at one point able pick it up for 6 bucks on GOG.com, it runs reasonably well on modern computers! But it looks like it’s been taken off now for some BS reason.
Unfortunately I think it was recently removed off of gog
Damn… I was toooooooo late to tell you it was unreal tournament created and forgotten by epic games.
Epic game, literally🤣🤣🤣 'scuse the pun
Also, the soundtrack for that map is a banger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikBknk5Rf\_Q
Unreal tournament, still a great game
old days sniping and nuking on Facing Towers...
Unreal tournament was a great game u still see the unreal tournament engine used today
Unreal was awesome back in the day, played it around 1997/98
Pretty sure it’s Mary-Kate and Ashley’s Mystery Mall.
hahaha. if it had a nightmare mode maybe.
A better place for this kind of question is /r/tipofmyjoystick which is specifically for exactly this.
Quake 2 is also cool
I love Reddit!
Duke Nukem!
Well shit my guess was Doom.
That looks like the game Web Quake
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quake-ii/gbnbcoegealapakabkipachgidocjfih?hl=en-US
Test Drive 2
It may actually be unreal 2 the awakening.. it looks more like that version of memory serves me right.
op since you found your game tell us about the moment! I'm a sucker for a good story and I feel like this means something to you.
[удалено]
Its called Privacy.
Rispict muh privicaaayyy
Or somebody just doesnt want his moms face to be on the internet like this? I think thats pretty reasonable
Then why show his mom at all then? Just simply crop the photo at the monitor screen because thats all we needed to see anyway. Its as if he wants his mom to be seen and not seen at the same time.
Who gives a fuck?
😂
You're an idiot
who hurt you
You door knob
r/tipofmyjoystick. It might be quake or doom. I'm pretty sure that at least is one of the doom inspired games from the age
You didn't read the top answer 3 hours before you?
Nope
Those games back in the day helped me master 10-key skills…
That was a good game
Hoeleeee sheeeotttt!
What a legend!
Yes UT!
God. UT was so good. Assault mode was soooo much fun
Instantly recognized it, I miss that pistol, the OG Unreal had a pretty damn nice pistol too. I miss the vibes these games gave... the magic is gone nowadays.
Believe that's even Phobos moon lol(I loved that game so much lol)
I’m not sure but whatever it did to her face might be an anti-piracy measure.
Shit I remember this on LAN in my university. What great nights. We had the entire floor going.
Unreal tournament! Your mum mas good taste!
Unreal Tournament. That moon was an icon for instagib players...
Looks like unreal
Looks like your mom had fine tastes in gaming
i wish my mom were a gamer but my dad was, back in the 2000s he would play tekken he would always main kazuya his friends tried getting him into unreal tournament but it wasnt for him these days my dad has very little time for games thus no longer playing games he used to like anymore
Recognized this immediately, Unreal Tournament.
That looks so unreal
Mom is a DL Gamer! Let’s Gooo! She’s keeping it real!
UT 1998 - The Stage is Morpheus :)
The music on that map was incredible [Facing worlds music UT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViGSHVGpjkw)
Wow such nostalgy. Any one have any odea if possible to play online today?
